18 fog light hid install

just was wondering if anyone on here has done a hid conversion for the 18 model?
i have been noticing that on previous years that there is a way to pull the light out
of the grille. on my 18 there is not any piece that i can pull out to get to the fogs.
from the looks of it i might have to jack the car up and go in from the under tray.
just want to get some input from some of you that have put hid in a 18 car

thanks!

Same as the '15-'17 I guess. You have to jack up the car (I put it on ramps) and remove one screw and pull down an access panel to remove the bulbs. It's described in the owner's manual, but they show the panel being pushed up, when it actually pulls down. Also, it's easier to twist and remove the bulb before trying to unplug the connector.
